Gan Guoyang's blocking undoubtedly shocked the Bulls players, making them understand that the Trail Blazers' inside line will not be able to make arbitrary impact because of insufficient height.

"If the Bulls scored that goal, his momentum would probably rise. But Gan's block made the Bulls' counterattack fail, and their counterattack flames were extinguished before they could burn."

This ball slowed down the offensive and defensive speed of both sides, and Ramsey's roar on the side also made Drexler stop rushing forward rashly.

The ball returned to Corte's hands again, and the Trail Blazers were ready to use a stable position attack to ensure the advantage in the first half.

After playing more than ten games, Gan Guoyang has gradually adapted to the NBA game being divided into four quarters, a total of 48 minutes. At the same time, he has also begun to slowly experience the different rhythms of each quarter.

Generally speaking, the first quarter is a test period, and both sides will generally send the most regular lineup, try their own tactics in a relatively relaxed state, and gradually adjust when problems appear.

In the second quarter, both sides will begin to work hard to set the tone for the game and let the whole situation reverse in the aspects that are beneficial to them.

For example, the leading team will gradually slow down the pace, improve the success rate of offense, selectively focus on the big and let the small, and maintain or gradually expand the advantages.

Teams that are behind and at a disadvantage generally speed up the pace, strive to disrupt the battle, and quickly grab points; they will comprehensively increase their intensity in defense, force their opponents to make mistakes, and chase the score back.

In the third quarter, it was a critical adjustment period. Both sides would make large-scale targeted adjustments based on the half-time game situation during the break.

In the third section, whoever adjusts more timely and whoever adjusts more targeted will gain the advantage again.

The fourth quarter is naturally a decisive battle. Both sides will use all the tricks to make the final move for victory.

Each of these sections is actually very important. If you make mistakes in any section, you have to work harder later to reverse the adverse situation.

The key reason why the Trail Blazers achieved such a good record this season is that with strong firepower, they can always gain an advantage in the first quarter, this test period.

Then in the second quarter, the tone of the game is set, so that the game can enter a situation where the opponent chases the Trail Blazers, so that the Trail Blazers will have the tactical initiative, and the opponent is often forced to make adjustments, while the Trail Blazers will respond to changes in the same way as they remain unchanged.

The Trail Blazers lost three games, two games against the Lakers, were both suppressed and beaten by the Lakers at the beginning, and never led from beginning to end.

One game is against the Nuggets. The Nuggets are a team with stronger firepower than the Trail Blazers. They face the Trail Blazers at home on the plateau, and they knocked the Trail Blazers down with a stronger offense.

In other games, the Trail Blazers took the lead in the first quarter; stabilized their lead in the second quarter; they would inevitably start bombing and firepower to offset the opponent's counterattack; in the fourth quarter, they survived the final struggle and won.

"Give me a cover!" Cort passed the ball to Drexler, who called Gan Guoyang's pick-and-roll from outside the three-point line on the right.

But Gan Guoyang knew that Drexler usually calls for pick-and-roll directly like this, and most of the time it was necessary to make a fake pick-and-roll.

Sure enough, Gan Guoyang came to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, opening up a channel for Drexler to break through the middle.

But Drexler did not walk from the middle, but instead made a false move and broke through directly from the right side!

Jordan, who was defending Drexler in the main, was obviously disturbed by Gan Guoyang's cover. Korzin was also stunned for a moment, but failed to keep up with Drexler who was extremely fast.

At this time, Jordan was unable to keep up with Drexler. If Korzin went to defend Drexler, Gan Guoyang would be missed. Drexler passed the ball, and Gan Guoyang would make an open layup.

This is the huge power of the pick-and-roll.

"Bang!" Drexler did not pass the ball. How could he miss such a scoring opportunity when he had already sprinted? He took off directly outside the three-second zone and added two points to the Trail Blazers with a powerful dunk.

This goal obviously made Jordan a little depressed, and he was completely broken and rushed to the inside to complete the dunk - this was always something he did.

"Drexler seemed to be holding his breath to Jordan. In previous games, he had been pressed on the bench by Ramsey in several games, with only a very little playing time; compared with the rookie Jordan has become the core of the Bulls, and his playing time in each game is more than 40 minutes, which should make Drexler very dissatisfied."

Because the Trail Blazers have two All-Stars on the outside, Paxson and Van derwich, and Ramsey doesn't like Drexler's style very much, Drexler is a little depressed.

Now facing Jordan, a player who has been compared with him many times, he naturally has to seize the few opportunities to show off himself well.

"Beautiful Clyde. If you enter two more like this, I'll treat you to steak tonight." Gan Guoyang and Drexler said when they returned to defense.

"Then you'd better call now and ask if the steak in Chicago is the best."

"Of course it's the Chicago Bulls' steak." Gan Guoyang said with a smile.

However, Jordan is not a bull at his slaughter, and he will never watch others do whatever he wants on his head.

At this time, Paxson was no longer defending Jordan, but Drexler, and the two super new defenders finally began a head-on battle.

"I'm going to go from the left." Jordan chewed gum and said to Drexler in front of him.

This was a naked provocation. Drexler ignored Jordan and stared at him.

The Bulls are relatively simple in tactics. They lack the ability to attack inside, but they have a comprehensive shooting guard, and two excellent physical fitness and strong scoring forwards - Walridge and Green.

Therefore, their common routine is that Jordan relies on his personal ability to break through or run to attract the opponent's defense, the center forward supports him at a high position, and the forward player cuts inward to the basket.

If the tactics do not work, Jordan will naturally solve the problem alone. This is also an NBA and a feature. Stars themselves are a tactic.

The main pressure in Gan Guoyang's defense at this time is to withstand the two front lines of the Bulls, which is a problem that Gan Guoyang often faces in his basketball career.

Gan Guoyang has summarized his own experience in this regard, which is to let his opponent fly in and crawl out, even if it is a foul.

He knew that he did not have an advantage in height and weight. Unlike Eaton or Jabbar, he stood in and was a wall, which made people not have the desire to rush in.

Therefore, he must use fierce blocks or even fouls to make the opponent afraid to rush inward.

In the game just started the season, Gan Guoyang was not yet adapted to the intensity of the NBA. He often blocked the shots but instead took him into the game with continuous fouls.

Now, his control has gradually improved, and there will be no more unnecessary fouls, but try to use just the right defense to make the opponent come back in vain.

"Jordan caught the ball around the baseline and shook it for a while. Drexler was deceived. Jordan bypassed Drexler and broke through from the left bottom line!"

Jordan's breakthrough is different from other players. It has big and beautiful movements, very full force, and extremely fast speed.

Gan Guoyang made up when Jordan was boring, and was about to jump when Jordan started with force. When Jordan flew into the air, Gan Guoyang also erected a wall of humans in the air to block Jordan.

The two men collided heavily, and Gan Guoyang made a mistake. He wanted to cover Jordan too much, but his arm pressed down.

Instead of forcibly dunking, Jordan shrank in the air, avoiding Gan Guoyang's arm, and then threw the ball up when he was hit and lost balance.

"Beep!" The referee whistle sounded, and Gan Guoyang made a foul in the air.

The ball was flipped on the basket twice and fell into the net.

"A-Great-Play! (Great Performance!)" the commentator couldn't help but shout, and the Bulls fans also stood up and applauded Jordan's wonderful goal.

"What do you think of this goal?" Jordan turned around and said to Gan Guoyang.

Jordan was hit in the air but did not fall to the ground.

Because when Jordan broke through, his body tightened and his core stability was well maintained, and his body was generally not fully stretched.

This is conducive to his movements and maintaining balance.

So Jordan can always land steadily after completing a difficult breakthrough layup, rather than falling down.

Gan Guoyang didn't say anything, but he was already thinking about how to pay back the next ball.

However, when Jordan hit a free throw, Ramsey called a timeout. Obviously, he felt that if Gan Guoyang and Drexler were allowed to be so big on the court, the Trail Blazers' offense in the second quarter would be messed up.

Although the two of them are outstanding in talent, they do not have the ability to control the situation. Ramsey is just afraid that the two guys will bet on balloons. Although sometimes such a style of play will have miraculous effects, it is not at this time of the second quarter.

"Van der Van der Vick, Paxson takes a break. Gan, put your experience on defense, ensure the resilience of defense, and don't give the opponent's forward too many opportunities. Jordan will let him attack, leave this to Clyde to solve. You must control the fouls and reduce the number of fouls on the team. You cannot send the opponent to the free throw line in the second half. Offensive power, KiKi must bear more, and Carl will provide support to the inside. Our defense line must further shrink, protect the backcourt rebounds, reduce turnovers, and slow down appropriately."

Ramsey is obviously seeking stability. Shrinking the defense line means letting you shoot, and if you make a move, you will count on your shot, and if you don’t make a rebound, I will no longer seek quick attacks. I require simple play and rely on the stars to play, so that you can reduce mistakes and not give the opponent a counterattack.

"Gan, if you just hold the ball and attack, I will push you back to the bench!" Ramsey did not forget to threaten Gan Guoyang at the end. He knew that this guy had never obeyed the command.

"Okay, I know." Gan Guoyang agreed, but who knows what he was thinking.

After replacing Van derwich, the Trail Blazers became much monotonous in the offense, mainly relying on one or two passes to pass the ball to Van derwich, allowing Van derwich to solve the problem.

For a team's offense, it is necessary to rely on the personal abilities of a certain star player for some time, because not every offense can produce a wonderful team cooperation.

Moreover, the more complex the cooperation, the more likely it is to make mistakes. For a leading team, the most feared thing is that they are counterattacked by their opponents.

Van derwich's offensive efficiency is pretty good. He maintains a very strong offensive threat in both bottom corners. Whether it is a retreat jumper or a bottom line breakthrough, the Bulls' defense line cannot withstand it.

The Trail Blazers' defense is quite resilient. Although the Bulls can still score goals, the Trail Blazers' defense is not loose due to continuous conceding goals, especially the backcourt rebounds are well protected.

Gan Guoyang had already grabbed 16 rebounds in the first half, all of which were backcourt rebounds.

In this way, the score gap between the two sides has remained at around 10 points, which is also a situation that Ramsey is willing to see.

But Gan Guoyang was not so good. He only scored 5 points in the first half, which was nothing in itself. Ramsey had no right to fire him.

But Korzin's entanglement and the Bulls' forward moves really made him feel a little overwhelmed. As long as he gets the ball, even if he doesn't make an attack, the Bulls players will come forward and harass him repeatedly.

"Gan Guoyang got the ball at a high position. Oh, Kerrjin posted it again, and Walridge was also coming forward. Gan Guoyang's shot was a bit slow. He was double-teamed by two people and the ball was about to be lost!"

Gan Guoyang's position at the high position was not very good, too close to the sideline, and was double-teamed by Walridge and Korzin on the flanks. The two of them were entangled with Gan Guoyang like wrestlers.

Seeing that the ball was about to be lost, Gan Guoyang wanted to call for a timeout, but he couldn't make a move. He decided that his arm would be scratched several times.

But the referee's whistle never sounded.

Gan Guoyang resisted the urge to swing his elbow, held the ball in his arms, and threw away the entanglement between the two.

But Walridge still reached Gan Guoyang's arms and wanted to pull the ball out.

"Beep!" The referee finally sounded a whistle and signaled the two to compete for the ball.

But Walridge still refused to let go and waited for Gan Guoyang to let go; while Gan Guoyang did not let go, the two stood there and confronted each other.

At this time, Gan Guoyang suddenly sank his waist, and he pushed Wallridge away with his shoulders, and snatched the ball over.

Walridge didn't expect Gan Guoyang to do this, and he took several steps back.

"Are you looking for death?" Korjin yelled beside him. He couldn't help seeing Gan Guoyang's actions.

"You are looking for death, what do you want to do with a hairy guy?" Gan Guoyang, who was so angry, replied without hesitation.

"Your eyes are best highlighted by a bitch. This is Chicago." Walridge also joined the battle group.

"You are the one whore whores. I can handle you in minutes. I can't even know your mother." Gan Guoyang rarely used his trash talk since he entered the NBA, and he finally got the chance today.

"Beebeep!" When the referee saw that the momentum was wrong, he whistled again and separated the two groups of people who were getting more and more angry.

"Keep calm and don't be affected by others at will!" Ramsey shouted from the side. He was very worried that Gan Guoyang would lose his mind.

Gan Guoyang looked at Ramsey and nodded. He knew that he was very calm now.
Chapter completed!
